Solar polar align software

For android users, download solar polar align.
Line up the centre thick line with the circle on the end with a vertical shadow, eg tube or even a can of softdrink on flat level ground. The circle on the end of the line is pointing towards the sun.

The top and bottom of phone is 90 degrees to true south so you can put a beam down and rest 2 of your tripod legs against them. The 2 long sides point to true south.

The thick line with circle is updated every 2 minutes.

Have attached photo as well and can be used antime in the day.

All you need to do now is your elevation.

Regards
Kon
